How many “investors” buying and selling silver or gold actually buy and sell gold and silver? They are buying and selling paper that has no physical backing. A gambling fantasy. The price of paper silver and real silver desperately need to be decoupled. Which cannot be allowed to happen or it would collapse fiat currency.
If there were no paper bullion I believe we would be seeing a very different situation.
The entire stock market is completely phony. None of this is based on the real world. Quantitative easing, FED intervention in the stock market at pre selected loss points. Government bailouts and so on. This is the Matrix.
